Things to do in the Bahamas

  1. Water Sports

    With temperatures soaring nearly all year round, watersports are always high on the holiday activity agenda. On Cat Island you can go deep sea fishing, snorkel and hand-line fish all at a reasonable price. The quiet and secluded beach of Paradise Cove offers snorkelling and volleyball, and many resorts have glass-bottomed boat trips are available.

  2. Bird Watching

    The exotic setting and climate of the Bahamas makes bird-watching a very popular activity. It would be a shame not to pack the binoculars, since the islands are home to nearly 30 species of bird that are not found in the U.S, Canada or Europe. Add to that over 80,000 West Indian Flamingos, as well as pelicans, herons, egrets, and Bahamian pintail ducks, and you get the picture.

  3. Golf

    Golfing is taken very seriously in the Bahamas and islands such as the Abacos, the Exumas, the Grand Bahama Island and Paradise Island each boast 18-hole golf courses, all of them different in the sporting challenges they offer.

  4. Island Hopping

    Island hopping in the Bahamas is very popular and there are uninhabited cays, hidden coves, annual regattas and modern marinas, all to discover by boat.  There are many beautiful marinas throughout all the Bahamas - perfect for nautical fans.

  5. Nassau

    If you're planning to explore a little on holiday then make sure you take in Nassau, the capital of New Providence Island. Head to the Botanical Gardens where you'll discover 600 varieties of plants and trees then make your way to Potters' Cay where you can find locals selling their wares. For a culinary treat, go to the 'fish fry' at Arawak Cay. It's very popular with the locals - a sure sign that it's a top place to eat! Finally, for a bit of colonial architecture, head to Parliament Square where you can catch a glimpse of the House of Assembly, the Senate and the Chambers of Parliament.
